I'm not sure how to use the site, but joined because of you. Tomorrow
we get high speed; then I'll be able to do so much more. I am going to
get a camera, and then I'll send you pictures. She's starting to look
really good; I may try and go to St, Louis in Feb., if I think she's ready.

Sitting here working on blankets, so thought I would take the opportunity to get on computer as well and try to send some pics of the kids to you. Finally got my pics back from Lacey's win at The Royal, not sure how I like them, but oh well.

Sorry you are getting all that snow, but thought I would send you some, just in case you were missing it. It was great talking to you the other day. Hope you had a great New Year! Talk to you soon!

I'm running Lynden Manor Clydes in Carlisle (Glen Smith's Clydesdale and Standardbred operation) - Jane sent me out. I manage 160 acre farm, plus run the Standardbred breeding operation, track layups and the Clydesdale hitch horses and breeding stock. Glen recently added a Percheron mare to the menagerie as well.

His wife, Caroline Armstrong (yes Armbro Farms fame), keeps her retired Hackney Ponies, Hackney Horses and some of the riding ponies there as well.

Enough to keep me employed and out of trouble 5 days a week 8.5 hrs a day. Then I communte 1 hr to my folks place in Arthur to work our beastlies and compete.

How's Nova Scotia? Missed catching up with you at Christmas at Jane's the last couple of years.

Glad to hear that Scout's still going strong. Kisses and carrots to him.

At 12:49pm on December 31, 2008, Fiona said…: Too much...I worked for John Burns for a few years and also worked the test barn at Mohawk and Greenwood...Lexie was married to my husband's good friend Rob Wells...do you know Louise Annette...she works for Keith Calhoun(I can never spell his name right!) Joe Currie is a very good friend of mine...you're right..standardbreds are tough...too bad they have to be....
